Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a fundamental fluid dynamic phenomenon, multiphase flow is frequently encountered within the entire production stream of conventional and unconventional natural resources. Complicated by the distinct flow patterns and the transition mechanisms, multiphase flow behaviors through porous media, wellbores and pipelines are of significant importance to hydrocarbon fluid transportation. Notably, the recent exploration and exploitation of unconventional natural resources, including shale gas/oil, natural gas hydrate, coal bed methane, etc., have encouraged the state-of-the-art development of multiphase flow theory to be applied to complex production systems, e.g., deep water and/or stratum regions. Assisted by modern modeling and simulation technologies, investigations on multiphase flow have been conducted extensively. The Special Issue, ”Multiphase Flow Through Complex Production Systems”, tackles the most recent advances in theoretical modeling, experimental investigation, numerical simulation, and data analytics methods and techniques for multiphase flow in geo-energy.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
